Walter Kendrick traces the relatively recent concept of pornography—the word was not coined until the late 18th century—which became a public issue once the printing press gave ordinary people access to the erotica of the Greeks and Romans, the art and literature of the French enlightenment, and the poems of the Earl of Rochester and John Cleland's Fanny Hill. From the secret museums to the pornography trials of Madame Bovary and Lady Chatterly's Lover, to Mapplethorpe, cable TV, and the Internet, Kendrick explores how conceptions of pornography relate to issues of freedom of expression and censorship.

The Secret Museum
Yet another edifying examination of the evolution of a fairly modern concept: namely, pornography. I wouldn't say it was dry so much as intellectually written; I mean, it does deal with the historical development of an idea. I think there is a tendency for readers to be disappointed when a rather taboo subject like this is examined without much reference to the contents of the explicit stuff itself, but in this case none of that really has much bearing on the author's thesis and to include it would have been clunky and somewhat pandering.
It added some salient points to my paper about social policing in the nineteenth century, so, thanks for that, Kendrick.
